I’m trying to remember the name of a Photoshop plug-in that makes it easy to darken the corners of an image with a customizable, actionable effect. It was used in a newsroom workflow and did more than basic vignetting. What plug-ins or built-in Photoshop tools can do this?

You mean a plugin that creates vignetting? If you Google for it, I see more than a few, including Xero Soft Vignette, MV's Vignette Corrector. The easiest way, in newer version of Photoshop, is just to use the Lens Correction filter, by selecting Filters > Distort > Lens Correction and playing with the vignette slider. For non-destructive editing, try to apply the effect on a new layer.

Yes—this effect is usually called a vignette or corner burn. Based on the answers, the plug-in you were likely thinking of is PhotoKit by Pixel Genius. It was noted for having actionable effects and doing more than simple corner darkening.
If you just need the effect and not a specific plug-in, Photoshop can also do it with the built-in Lens Correction filter: Filter > Distort > Lens Correction, then adjust the vignette controls. For a safer workflow, apply the effect non-destructively on a separate layer or in an editable way.
Other plug-ins mentioned for vignette-style effects include Xero Soft Vignette and MV’s Vignette Corrector.
